Extreme right-winger elected to Wisconsin’s Supreme Court in special election last night. Dems cannot take their eye off the ball.

Hagedorn called Planned Parenthood a “wicked organization.” He founded a Christian school that bans LGBT people. He said the NAACP is a “disgrace to America.”
Now he’s going to replace a progressive justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

RSLC understood how important the Wisconsin Supreme Court race was — it’s why they dropped a seven-figure ad & mail buy in the final week.
Democrats cannot afford to take their eyes off the down-ballot ball in a presidential election cycle, especially right before redistricting.

RSLC — Republican State Leadership Committee

No hate-retweeting, y’all.

@anitasarkeesian Being a feminist, I didn’t mess that up.

…But I have learned a lot about “dogpiling” on the internet, why it’s bad even when I disagree with the harassed target’s politics, and techniques to dial it back and diffuse it (ask people politely to not hate retweet, etc).

National Popular Vote and Electoral College

National Popular Vote is a state-level issue right now, not national.

DonPaul Nogueira (@DonPaul77) Tweeted:

Please stop talking about abolishing the electoral college. It gives ammo to the opposition. Instead, send some money to @NatlPopularVote , let them handle it and ask the candidates to focus on core issues.

Confidence/competence

Humans are so weird. (This applies to more than just Islamism, obviously.)

Hassan Hassan (@hxhassan) Tweeted:

A former extremist’s logic of “I know Islam better than anyone else because I was an extremist” is ironically an extension of that former extremist’s animating logic that he knew Islam better than anyone else. The core doesn’t always change. Switching isn’t the same as changing. https://t.co/XuGSNR8GqS

So looking forward to this. 30 days of Southerners loyal to the Union.

Day 1 of Confederate Heritage Month. We honor then Captain David G. Farragut, a Southerner who remained loyal to the United States, for his defeat of Confederate traitors at the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip from 18 to 28 April 1862. #ConfederateHeritageMonth https://t.co/OmP5cM6Dqh

“Silence = complicity”

This seems fairly widely applicable.

«Whatever your mission is, if you’re silent on bigotry within it because you’ll accept ANY support, well, I return to the whole, “what do you have when 11 people sit down to dinner with a Nazi? 12 Nazis” thing. You gotta call this shit out and reject it, or you’re advancing it.»
